The Impact of the EPA’s Clean Power Plan on Missouri

The US Environmental Protection Agency is moving forward with increased regulations on power plant emissions. The “Clean Power Plan” is designed to reduce those emissions from US power plants over the next fifteen years and beyond.

This week, we get two different perspectives on the impact of the Clean Power Plan on Missouri.

Ray McCarty is the President of Associated Industries of Missouri. He believes the regulations are misguided, will harm Missouri’s (and America’s) economy and will result in very little change to the environment.

Heather Navarro is the Executive Director of the Missouri Coalition for the Environment. She believes the regulations are a step in the right direction and will, eventually, benefit the economy as well as the environment.
